"I'm finally going back to the capital..."

Zhao Cuo opened the curtain and looked at the scenery on both sides of the imperial road leading to Xiang Jing. In half a day, the imperial team would arrive in Beijing.

After he quickly captured Ning State, he took the Chu State Master's flying boat to meet up with the large team that had already returned. It has been three days now.

It had been more than a month since he left the capital, and he felt a little nostalgic for the people and things in the capital, especially the Queen Mother, whom he had already had physical contact with.

"It's too cold for Xiaobiezhi to leave me alone and go back to Beijing first."

Young Master Zhao took his head back from behind the curtain.

Being alone in the carriage made him sigh and shake his head.

Chu Guoshi had already taken the lead in returning to Daozong by boat.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy."

When the team stopped to reorganize before entering the capital, Ji Ming rode up to Zhao Cuo's carriage and whispered that he had something to report.

"Did something happen, Mr. Ji?"

He jumped out of the carriage and asked.

"yes."

Ji Ming turned over and dismounted. He looked at Zhao Cuo with vague admiration in his eyes, and his attitude was more respectful than before.

He knew how much great contribution Mr. Zhao had made during his trip.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one person can destroy a country.

"Isn't it Prince Ning who is causing trouble?"

Zhao Cuo frowned and asked.

"Master Zhao knows things like a god."

Ji Ming showed a helpless expression.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning has been clamoring to see the princess."

"I didn't say anything about not allowing the couple to meet?"

Zhao Cuo said in surprise.

He really never gave such an order.

He gave Princess Ning enough freedom.

"But the Princess said that he does not want to meet His Highness."

Ji Ming said cautiously.

"I see……"

Young Master Zhao nodded in understanding.

He was not surprised that Princess Ning did not want to see her husband again.

No woman in the world can endure a man betraying her over and over again.

"Master Ji, be prepared to go to Beijing. When the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette arrive, you will be able to deal with it easily."

Zhao Cuo turned around and said.

When the imperial envoy returned to Beijing, he had to wait for the emperor's orders a hundred miles outside the city.

Now that the Queen Mother's edict has not arrived, he cannot act rashly. If he messes up the etiquette, he will be in trouble.

"Subordinates take orders."

Ji Ming quickly raised his hands and bowed.

"I'm going to see the princess."

The young man pulled a horse and headed towards the second half of the procession.

"call……"

Ji Ming looked at Mr. Zhao's back and let out a long sigh of relief.

In fact, even if the princess wanted to see Prince Ning, he would have to ask Imperial Envoy Zhao first.

I can't believe that the most beautiful Princess Ning in the world has long been the concubine of Mr. Zhao.

"princess."

Zhao Cuo crossed his horse and came to Princess Ning's carriage. He did not get into the carriage without being rude, but leaned outside the curtain and asked.

"Is there anything you need my help with, Princess?"

He just came over to take a look.

If Princess Ning said nothing was wrong, he would go to patrol elsewhere in the team.

After going through so much hard work to get to this point, he couldn't allow any more accidents to happen and he had to be extremely cautious.

"Master Zhao..."

Princess Ning's charming voice came out.

"If your Majesty, the imperial envoy, is free, could you come to the car and have a talk?"

She said softly and hesitantly.

"There is nothing you can't do."

Zhao Cuo was stunned for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"My lord, come in."

"Nagging."

After saying this, he stepped onto the carriage.

In fact, he was a little surprised that Princess Ning would invite him to get on the bus.

In this atmosphere of openness between men and women, there is absolutely no reason for a man to be alone with other people's wives. Even his family members must avoid suspicion.

"Chief Zhao, please take a seat wherever you like."

Zhao Cuo opened the curtain and walked into the carriage. A woman's body fragrance that looked like a flower but not a flower poured into his nose, which made him feel distraught.

Princess Ning was currently wearing a bright red dress, with a hint of haggardness on her fair and soft face, quite like a sickly beauty.

The young father-in-law couldn't help but frown when he saw her look like this.

"What's wrong with you, Princess?"

He asked in a slower voice.

"I'm fine."

Princess Ning shook her head and spoke softly.

"The princess is not ill, so why has she lost so much weight in the past few days?"

Zhao Cuo sat down opposite her. The graceful and elegant lady in front of him had a sad look on her face. Such an expression was really pitiful.

"In the end, the road ahead is unclear and we can't help ourselves."

Princess Ning pursed her red lips lightly and said.

"I know what the princess is worried about."

He looked at the poor woman who had had a rough life with gentle eyes.

"After entering the capital, I will arrange everything for the princess. Don't worry, no one can bully you."

Zhao Cuo could see the worries in Princess Ning's heart. She came to Beijing this time without any relatives. In this case, no matter who she was, she would be hesitant about the future.

Now that her world-wide reputation has become a bad thing, who wouldn't want to take a bite of such a beautiful piece of meat? How can a powerless emperor protect his woman from the intrusion of powerful officials?

'For example, me.'

He felt that it was really easy for him to want Princess Ning.

"My lord has taken such good care of me, but I have nothing to repay you for, and I feel at a loss."

Princess Ning said in a cold voice.

She is not a little girl who is ignorant of the world.

Is there anything in this world that is good for no reason?

"After entering the capital, I will introduce my sister to the princess."

Young Master Zhao said with a soft smile.

"Why?"

Princess Ning tilted her head in confusion.

"The princess is uneasy when she enters the capital, mostly because she has nothing to rely on in the capital. It would be nice to meet some close friends in the future."
